Transformers: Spotlight Issues

Revelations Part 3 of 4. The apocalyptic Revelations Cycle continues as the spotlight falls on the coldly calculating, self-serving DEALER (aka DOUBLEDEALER)! As the Dead Universe erupts into our own, Dealer and HOT ROD go in search of The Magnificence and, the AUTOBOTS hope, answers! But Dealer is only concerned with finishing the dark intrigues begun on Ki-Aleta!

Revelations Part 2 of 4. The Revelations Cycle continues here! This time, the spotlight falls on the AUTOBOTS' thick-skinned, no-nonsense ''problem-solver,'' HARDHEAD! As the Expansion draws ever closer, NIGHTBEAT seeks to solve the mystery of his own missing memories, and he needs Hardhead's help. But as they retrace NIGHTBEAT's last steps on Gorlam Prime, HARDHEAD is forced into the worst kind of no-win situation-and one that neither of them are likely survive!

FACE OFF! HOIST has always managed to fade into the background: until now. Trapped on an alien planet with a narcissist, half a scientist and a creature that may or may not turn into a catapult, the Lost Light's mild-mannered maintenance engineer must confront the five most dangerous DECEPTICONS ever.

This time, the spotlight falls on HOT ROD, as the daredevil Autobot undertakes a solo mission firmly filed and stamped: impossible! But what is the Magnificence, and how does it all connect with HOT ROD's first-disastrous-mission?

Stranded, outgunned and outnumbered, AUTOBOT special operative JAZZ will need every bit of his training if he is going to make it out of this one alive!

In this never-before-revealed tale, we learn exactly how Megatron reacted... and how Starscream survived!

Six Shot, the most feared Decepticon in the known galaxy is on the hunt and the Throttlebots are his prey! When they land on a remote planet and find a deserted city, they find that despite appearances, they are not alone. METROPLEX IS REVEALED but is the transforming city friend or foe?

This time, the spotlight falls on OPTIMUS PRIME, the towering figurehead of the entire TRANSFORMERS race. To those under his command, he is an island, forever stood apart, aloof. In times of dire personal crisis he has no one to turn to... save one. Guest-starring OMEGA SUPREME!

BEFORE OPTIMUS PRIME-there was Orion Pax! Four million years ago, the future leader of the AUTOBOTS disappeared into the Cybertronian wilderness to save a friend. What happened next would take him to the very brink-and have startling repercussions on the current comics!

Revelations Part 4 of 4. The apocalyptic Revelation Cycle concludes as the spotlight falls on the bombastic AUTOBOT SIDESWIPE, whose mission to Earth means a head-on confrontation with the past that shaped him. And as Nemesis Prime's forces move to ensure that their return is heralded by death and destruction on a massive scale, so the AUTOBOTS fight back on multiple fronts. But is it too little, too late?

The spotlight falls on SOUNDWAVE, the Decepticon intelligence officer with a knack of, first and foremost, looking out for number one! Confronted (on Earth, in 1984!) by an impending catastrophe only he can avert, will Soundwave, for once, consider the bigger picture?

In the dark days of the war for Cybertron, THUNDERCRACKER had a special mission-one never revealed before! Now, as he faces off against BUMBLEBEE for the first time, the fate of METROPLEX-and an entire civilization-is at stake!

STEALTH ATTACK! Trailcutter has a problem: the Lost Light has been taken over by the Decepticonsand no one else seems to have noticed! Can the Autobots' defense strategist singlehandedly see off an army of infiltrators? And even if he does, will itæconvince his crew mates that he's got more to offer than kind words and forcefields?æ

The spotlight falls on ULTRA MAGNUS, the AUTOBOTS' implacable, upstanding long arm of the (intergalactic) law. But now-in pursuit of his ''most wanted'' (and elusive) adversary-just how far (outside the law) is MAGNUS willing to go?

ESCAPE FROM EARTH! Before Cybertron was rebornBUMBLEBEE lead the Autobots on Earth. In this untold tale, he must take the reigns of command and he's got hundreds of rogue Decepticons standing between him and respect!

The spotlight falls on BLASTER, the rousing, bombastic ‘voice' of the Autobot counter-offensive. Long ago, that ‘voice' was abruptly, mysteriously silenced, and now the truth about what happened to Blaster-and who betrayed him and the Autobots-is about to be revealed, with shocking consequences!

Presenting the latest one-shot focusing on some of the best-loved (or loathed) characters from the Transformers Universe. The spotlight falls on ARCEE, Autobot by allegiance but utterly mad, bad, and dangerous to know! Driven by personal demons, waging a war against an enemy that may only exist in her head, Arcee is considered too dangerous to ever be let loose. But desperate times call for desperate measures!
